A Magma smelter is a special variation of the basic smelter that uses magma as a source of heat, instead of fuel. Like all magma-powered buildings, it is not visible under the Build menu until your dwarves discover a source of magma to power it.
To function, magma smelters must be built with at least one of the eight edge tiles positioned over an open space, with at least 4/7 magma on the next floor down.
Note that both
pig iron and
steel production still require fuel, as a source of carbon for the reaction.
